DESCRIPTION
The LTC®3809-1 is a synchronous step-down switching
regulator controller that drives external complementary
power MOSFETs using few external components. The
constant frequency current mode architecture with MOSFET
VDS sensing eliminates the need for a current sense resistor
and improves efficiency.
Optional Burst Mode operation provides high efficiency
operation at light loads. 100% duty cycle provides low
dropout operation, extending operating time in battery-
powered systems. Burst Mode is inhibited when the MODE
pin is pulled low to reduce noise and RF interference.
The LTC3809-1 allows either coincident or ratiometric
output voltage tracking. Switching frequency is fixed at
550kHz. Fault protection is provided by an overvoltage
comparator and a short-circuit current limit comparator.
The LTC3809-1 is available in tiny footprint thermally
enhanced DFN and 10-lead MSOP packages.
